"Mercy In You"

"Mercy In You"

You know what I need
When my heart bleeds
I suffer from greed
A longing to feed
On the mercy in you

I can't conceal
The way I'm healed
The pleasure I feel
When I have to deal
With the mercy in you

I would do it all again
Lose my way and fall again
Just so I could call again
On the mercy in you

When here in my mind
I feel inclined
To wrongly treat you unkind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you

I would lose my way again
Be led hopelessly astray again
Just so I could pray again
For the mercy in you

When here in my mind
I have been blind
Emotionally behind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you

"Miles Away / The Truth Is"

"Miles Away / The Truth Is"

It's one of those conversations we've, we've had them before
The ones that leave you empty and wanting for more
Your eyes they tell me something that I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth is
You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away

Excuse me for my hesitation I've, I've met you before
Your face seems so familiar and longing for more
Your eyes they tell me something that I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth is
You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away

With all your superstitions and empty lines
I could be just like you
Withdrawn but alive

Life it has it's limitations we all have our needs
Love could be the only answer it lies underneath
Your eyes they tell me something that I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth is

You're miles away [x9]

"Monument"

"Monument"

When the site was found
We laid the foundations down
It didn't take long before
They came back tumbling down
Don't build at night
You need a little light
How else are you going to see
What it is going to be like

So we picked up our tools
And we worked in the morning light
With the last stone placed
Wasn't it a wonderful site
But it fell back down
And scattered all around
Anything passes
When you need glasses

My monument
It feel down
My monument
It feel down

Work all of my days for this kind of praise
It fell down
Work all of my days
It fell down

"More Than A Party"

"More Than A Party"

Lots of surprises in store
This isn't a party
It's a whole lot more

We've had enough of this blind man's bluff
You've kept us in the dark for long enough

This is more than a party
More than a party
More than a party

Keep telling us we're to have fun
Then take all the ice cream so we've got none

The failed magician waves his wand
And in an instant the laughter's gone

Loads of surprises in store
This isn't a party
It's a whole lot more

"Motherless Child"

"Motherless Child"

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long way from home
A long way from home
True believer
A long way from home
A long way from home

"My Joy"

"My Joy"

My joy
The air that I breathe
My joy
In god I believe
My joy
You move me

My joy
The blood in my veins
My joy
Flows in your name
My joy
You move me

I'm not a mountain, no
You move me

My joy
Heavenly bliss
My joy
The pleasures I've missed
My joy
You move me

I'm not a mountain, no
You move me

"My Little Universe"

"My Little Universe"

My Little Universe
Is expanding
Slowly
And those who know me
Say I'm growing every day

Beautiful emptiness
Surrounds me
I take small steps
I'm making progress
In a non-specific way

Here I am king
I decide everything
I let no-one in
No-one
No-one
No-one

Limited consciousness
Preserves me
It protects me
And just connects enough
To keep the wolves at bay

My Little Universe
Is expanding
Slowly
And those who know me
Say I'm growing every day

Here I am king
I decide everything
I let no-one in
No-one
No-one
No-one

"My Secret Garden"

"My Secret Garden"

My secret garden's not so secret anymore
Run from the house holding my head in my hands
Feeling dejected, feeling like a child might feel
It all seems so absurd
That this should have occurred
My very only secret
And I had to go and leak it!
My secret garden's not so secret anymore!

No, my secret garden's not so secret anymore!
Run through the fields, down to the edge of the water
Can't stay long, here comes the reason why -
She'll catch me if she can,
Take me by the hand
I'll have to keep on running
And I just can't see the fun in
My secret garden not being secret anymore!

It used to be so easy
On days such as these she'd
Search and search for hours
In among the flowers
I loved it! - I loved her!
Play the fool, act so cruel - I loved it!
Read her book, take a look - I loved her!

It all seems so absurd
That this should have occurred
My very only secret
And I had to go and leak it!
My secret garden's not so secret anymore!

"Never Let Me Down Again"

"Never Let Me Down Again"

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend

We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
Promises me I'm safe as houses
As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers
I hope he never lets me down again

Never let me down

See the stars, they're shining bright
Everything's alright tonight

"Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth"

"Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth"

When she's on her best behaiviour
Don't be tempted by her favours
Never turn your back on mother earth

Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that looked so smooth to me
Never turn your back on mother earth

Grasp at straws that don't want grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crashing
Never turn your back on mother earth

Three days and two nights away from my friends
Amen to anything that brings a quick return
To my friends
To my friends

Never turn your back on mother earth

I'll admit I was unfaithful
But from now I'll be more faithful
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother earth
